Description Nedko Arnaudov 2008-12-31 18:35:24 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
with revision 8e28b9b4c4947526d1955a78777183b65b6e05ec

[ср дек 31 20:35:22] nedko@usbix ~/git/giggle (master)
# ./autogen.sh 

You must have automake installed to compile giggle.
Get ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/automake/automake-1.7.tar.gz
(or a newer version if it is available)
[ср дек 31 20:35:26] nedko@usbix ~/git/giggle (master)
# paco -i automake
---------------
 automake-1.10 
---------------

Name:     automake
Version:  1.10



Steps to reproduce:
run autogen.sh


Actual results:
it tells me automake is not installed

Expected results:
it should use installed automake-1.10 to generate configure script and other stuff or it should give appropriate error message

Does this happen every time?
yes

Comment 1 Nedko Arnaudov 2008-12-31 18:37:50 UTC 
I see the check is made strictly for automake-1.9
Comment 2 Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2009-01-05 09:18:50 UTC 
The autogen script looks quite complicated. Probably should switch to gnome-autogen.sh, or some more rudimentary rewrite.

Comment 4 Andreas Köhler 2009-06-07 14:35:42 UTC 
This breaks builds outside the source dir.
Please take a look at http://github.com/andi5/giggle/commit/684da8fafb58cc9b3e5f66e6421a9357067c8e58 and whether it still resolves this bug.
Comment 5 Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2010-01-21 23:31:45 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release.

I've committed a slighted different Andrea's patch in commit a061069d45a1154c0c7e41fbf9efd43b4a07ddc5

Thank you Andreas
